North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal have been handed FA Cup third round trips to lower league opposition.

Spurs, who lost Sunday's Premier League derby at the Emirates Stadium 4-2, will travel to either League Two Tranmere or National League North Southport.

The Gunners are on the road too, with the winners of the second round replay between National League Solihull Moors and League One Blackpool waiting in the wings.

National League Wrexham will also host Premier League opposition in the shape of 2016 champions Leicester, if they can get past League Two Newport.

Watford will also hope to avoid a giant-killing act when they head to National League South side Woking.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea were handed home draws against Sky Bet Championship trio Reading, Rotherham and Nottingham Forest respectively, while League Two Lincoln will travel to top-flight Everton.

The draw yielded two all-Premier League ties with Wolves welcoming Liverpool to Molineux and Bournemouth hosting Brighton.

Cardiff will travel to League One Gillingham, while Newcastle face Championship Blackburn at St James' Park and Crystal Palace are at home to League Two Grimsby.

Managerless Southampton have been drawn away to Frank Lampard's promotion-chasing Derby, while Fulham welcome League Two Oldham to Craven Cottage and Championship sideBirmingham head for West Ham, with Burnley taking on League One Barnsley at Turf Moor.

Nice little earner

There is even greater incentive to triumph in the third round than ever after the FA doubled the prize fund for this season's competition.

That means those who win will bag themselves £135,500 - pittance for those in the Premier League but a significant sum for the non-league clubs. Should they be lucky enough to be drawn against one of the country's leading sides they can also generate big sums through gate receipts and television coverage.

The men in charge

Draw preview

Good evening and welcome to the FA Cup third round draw - the time when the minnows meet the big boys and dreams are made. Or something like that.

Shortly we will find out if a non-league side will face a once-in-a-lifetime trip to one of the Premier League's leading clubs, or whether internationals will have to trek down to play in front of a glorified shed.

There will be at least two non-league clubs in the third round courtesy of Woking and Barnet, while Southport, Wrexham and Solihull Moors all face second-round replays against league opposition.

The draw will begin soon after 7.30pm. Here are your runners and riders, plus the ball numbers to look out for:
